Cucumber Kimchi (Oi Kimchi)

Kimchi is a Korean side dish & also a national dish which is fermented under ground from couple of days to months for a perfect taste. This dish is mainly made of napa cabbage & other vegetables to which seasonings are added to flavor up the dish. 
Kimchi is not a vegetarian dish as it has fish sauce, but it can be made vegetarian by avoiding the sauce from it. I made Cucumber kimchi or Oi Kimchi where Oi means Cucumber in korean. This is a instant kimchi that is enjoyed by koreans mostly in summer. I got this recipe from here & loved it as it tasted.
